How Jim Matkin Happened to Get Shot

Bepton H,7~r Press A number OF wears
ago there occurred an accident in Fort
Benton which is we'll worth repeating and
is highly amusing. although its ,ermina.
ton was nearly Il tragedy. II ~as told us
by gentleman who is conversan, with
the facts
An interpreter for one OF our merchants
resided in a cabin which stood on the cor
nerner of Main and Baker streets. He
was married to comelv Indian woman
She was not contented and eloped with an.
other white man, and came to reside in
the upper end of town, in a cabin already
occupied by another family. The interpre
ter was all broken up at the destroying Of
the peace and happiness of his home. 4
few days after Four Bear, chief Of the Pie.
gans, came in to- trade, and to him the in j.
terpreter poured forth his woes and asked
him to visit the woman and get her 10
return to her griet.stricken husband. Four
Eea, consented and said he would go and
have a medicine talk; hc would paint
around his mouth with Grim son, so that he
would talk sweet, and woul>. take a medi-
cine stone and place It over the door TO in.
sure success, in his mission. This he did
being accompanied by four OF his braves,
and talked a long time with the erring wife
but during the talk in walked the other
occupant Of the cabin and wihou: more
ado he proceeded to "tire' them. lie as
saulted the Indian with the butt OF six.
shooter, and they retrcated ignominiously,
Four Bear, in the lead. with the crimson
still encircing his mouth. This summary
mode Of q jection enraged the indians SO
much that they left town, and meeting
Jim Matkin on the road, shot him in re-.
taliation. Jim, Of course, escaped but
has been sufferer from the wound ever
since.

DIABOLICAL.
Bold Atte mpt to Wreck an Ohio and His
eissippi PassenEer Trim

Bold Atte mpt to WRECK an Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Passenger Train.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. IS "A diabolical
attempt was made last nigh. to wreck the
outgoing passenger train on the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad, but luckily 1t was q
futile one. AS Special Officer Clancy of
the East 81. Louis police force was walk
ing out on the Ohio and Mississippi track
about O'Clock he discovered at the
crossing OF that road and the Belt Line
which encircles the eastern part of the
city, that two coupling pins had been
driven into the frog of the track evident
ly with the design of wrecking the train
The outgoing passenger was nearly due,
and no time WAS lost. With the aid of q
big rock, and only after much labor,
Clancy released the pins from the frog
and moment later the train sped by, It's
occupants all unconscious of the danger
they had escaped. The tracks at this
point are on high embsnkment, and had
the train struck the pins it would have
been dashed down the embsnkment, and
a fearful loss OF life would doubtless have
ensued. No one yet is suspected of the
t2ndish act, nor csn any motive be as
signed.

ANsoN, Tex, Aug. Is There has been
a great deal of complaint among the
stockmen OF Jones county in the last six
or eight months about the number Of
burnt cattle found on the range and some
time since the Commissioners court
made contract with some parties to
gsther al the stray cattle, including al
freshly burnt cattle that were unclaimed,
snd the result of il is that the sheriff row
has in his possession about 100 head Of
freshly burnt cattle Three arrests have
been made, and it is expected that others
will follow. Judge Cockrell has convened
the grand jury for the 18Th and the whole
matter will be sifted to the bottom. Sus-
picion rests upon some heretofore respect
able citizens.
The cases against John Greenwood, A
S. and S. G.. McCammant, charged with
theft of cattle, in the District court were
yesterday dismissed. District Attorney
Houston assigned as the reason for the
dismissals that there was no evidence
against the defendants sutfi 2ient to sus-
tain conviction.

TIE PENNSIL VANIA REPUBLL

THE PENNS1L VANIA REPUBLI-
CANS.
The Pennsylvania Republicans have
had their say and doubtless feel consid-
erably relieved and satisfied over the re
suit of their deliberations. There is little
novel or noteworthy in the platform. 1t
is Just about what was expected. The
conventional and meaningless platitudes
are reiterated; the same ,buncombe about
protecting American labor is enuuciated;
the old time arraignment Of the Demo
cratic party is repeated with here and
there tafy for the ex-soldiers End
cnallCe filed with gall for President
Cleveland, Of which, by the way, the chief
executive is not compelled to psrtake.
Blaine is endorsed and his defeat attribu-
ted to accident, meaning, doubtless, the
spontaneous combustion of Burchard's
three Rs; the prohibition idea is favored,
the distribution of the surplus in the
treasury among all duly discharged Union
soldiers suggested, the encouragement of
American shipping by means Of bounties
and an adherence Of anarchism dwelt
| upon, The only innovation made, and it
is one upon which the country will con-
graduate tae Pennsylvania Republicans,
| is negative novelty. Nowhere in the
platform can be discovered, by the most
careful scrutiny, the hoarv and time-hon
ored, 1--WE view with ALARM" or It's in
separable concomitant, "we point with
pride" There is a message of comfort
and encouragement waited to Glad
stone and Parnell, but this is not
political. 1t is an expression of the
natural and inherent sympathy which
free people always entertain for the
oppressed, and can be used consistently
in the platform of any American party.
One Of the most ghoulish passages in the
platform is found in the tariff plank where
it says: SIT is likewise a part Of that
protective policy of which Pennsylvania
has been the parent to protect American
workmen from une q sl and rust compe-
tition Of imported contract pauper labor,
and we demand the passage OF more Wig
orous national laws for the scrutiny of
the immigration and the return of the
unfit and unworthy" This, from state
where the Republican maiority is enor-
nous, where the mines and factories
SWAIN with foreign contract labor;
where able bodied men make on
an average, seventy-fve cents per day,
where laborers are taxed nine dollars per
snnum to support company Doctor"
and dare not employ any other; where the
"store system" prevails compelling labor
ers to purchase their goods from their
employers at ruinous prices, where evic-
tons base and brutal, outrivsl,ng in fend.
sh strocity the barbarities OF Irish land
lordism, have disgrsced the country, and
where laboring men are kept in AFFECT
slavery by the bullets and bludgeons OF
Pinkerton thugs, such an expression
comes with poor grace. 1t is difficult to
withhold q measure Of admiration from
J sublime or magnificent audacity. Such
an expression as the one above quoted
: however, in q Pennsylvania Republican
; platform, is simply disgusting in its gross
, impertinence. But the noble Old Rip!
will again triumph. The very men whom
